- This is a $525,400.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona. The grant supports research to constrain the surface properties of the near-Earth asteroid (162173) 1999 JU3 using images from the Optical Navigation Camera (ONC) on the Hayabusa2 spacecraft. The research aims to create a detailed shape model, photometric model, and color maps of the asteroid to support...
- This federal contract award is a grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Lowell Observatory, a private non-profit research institution located in Flagstaff, Arizona. The $101,002.95 grant is for research related to the study of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) and comets. Specifically, the research aims to characterize the physical properties and potential activity of dormant comets and near-Sun asteroids, which have important implications for...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $179,180.46 grant to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, to investigate the composition of hydrated silicates and organics on the asteroid (162173) 1999 JU3 (Ju3) in support of the Hayabusa2 mission. The principal investigator, Dr. Driss Takir, will work directly with the NIRS3 instrument team to measure spectra of relevant materials under asteroid-like conditions and process the NIRS3 spectral data to...
- This is a $292,831 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of NASA to the Lowell Observatory, a private non-profit research institution in Flagstaff, Arizona. The grant is for research on small bodies in the solar system, as these remnants from the formation of our solar system can provide insights into its early phases and exoplanetary systems. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. Lowell Observatory has extensive experience conducting astronomical research under federal...
- This is a $570,400 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University. The purpose of this grant is to support the Hayabusa2 mission's investigation of asteroid 1999 JU3. Specifically, the research will: Create global shape and topography models of the asteroid using stereo-photo-clinometry to aid mission planning, data analysis, and site selection for the Small Carry-on Impactor (SCI) experiment. Combine the shape model with...
- This is a $735,611 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona to continue research on the physical characterization of small near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) less than 150 meters in diameter. The research objectives are to determine the rotation state, surface composition, and physical properties such as albedo and diameter of 144 small NEAs using photometric and spectroscopic observations with the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility. This work...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $223,650.73 grant to the University of Arizona (doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents) to conduct research under the "Mineralogical Mapping of Asteroid Itokawa Using Hayabusa AMICA Camera Multi-Spectral and NIRS Spectr" program. The 4-year grant will support the calibration and restoration of multi-color data from the Hayabusa spacecraft's Asteroid Multiband Imaging Camera (AMICA) to create global 7-color...
- This is a grant award from NASA's Shared Services Center to Lowell Observatory, a private non-profit research institution, for a project to modernize and expand the ASTORB and COMORB databases of orbital elements for minor planets and comets. The $656,657 grant will fund three primary components: 1) incorporating a GPU-based N-body integrator to enable more efficient database maintenance and observational planning tools, 2) adding comets and interstellar objects to the database for public...
- This federal contract award, with ID NNX16AG52G, was granted by the NASA Shared Services Center to Lowell Observatory, a private non-profit research institution located in Flagstaff, Arizona. The $560,411.00 grant is intended to develop a new system from the existing ASTORB catalog to accumulate and centralize minor planet characterization data, provide observational planning tools, and enable real-time updates through a crowdsourcing approach. This work is highly relevant to the NASA PDART...
- This is a $325,989 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Lowell Observatory, a private non-profit research institution located in Flagstaff, Arizona. The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, is for the observatory to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. The grant will enable the...
